## Railcore II: Cooling Fan Modifications and Add-ons ## Update 5/15/2020 - Major Revision Underway, Files Temporarily Pulled I've made several modifications and add-ons for the Railcore II cooling fan(s). As of now, the most popular and effective fan is the James Tongue Mandible, which I've focused on. However, more options may become available in the future. These mods are part of the Emma Puggle Railcore II collection and are compatible with the Printed and Aluminum Y-Carriage mods ONLY. These mounts move the hot end from its standard position to maintain a straight filament path from the Bondtech BMG through the hot end. **Tongue Mandible Adapter [ALU]** A remix of the adapter included with the James Tongue Mandible, made compatible with the Emma Puggle y-carriages. Notable changes include: * Uses brass inserts instead of captive nuts * Requires M3x3mm Brass Knurled Threaded Inserts (available on Amazon) * Includes multiple spacers to precisely position the fan output (1mm above the print bed suggested) * Variant includes a bump stop for those running Sensorless Homing configurations (Aluminum Y-Carriage only at this point) **Tongue Mandible Adapter [PRINTED]** An adapter for printed y-carriages, requiring M3x3mm Brass Knurled Threaded Inserts (available on Amazon). **Tongue Mandible Fan Support** A simple bracket to support the weight of the fan and duct by attaching it to the belt retainer. Currently compatible with the Emma Puggle Aluminum Y-Carriage Belt Retainer only. **Y-Endstop Mount for v6 Groovemount Piezo** When using the Piezo Mount for the E3D v6 Groovemount Heat Sink, the piezo mount interferes with the y-endstop mount. This replacement pushes out the endstop to clear the mount. **Fusion 360 Files Available** Fusion 360 files are available on Autodesk's gallery. ## Part of the Emma Puggle Railcore II Collection | Description | Link | |----------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------| | Railcore II BMG + Precision Piezo Orion - Printed Carriage | https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3240565 | | Railcore II BMG + Precision Piezo Orion - Aluminum Y-Carriage | https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3461186 | | Sice Mosquito/Magnum Precision Piezo Orion Mount | https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3456684 | | E3D v6 Precision Piezo Orion Mount | https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3646599 | | Railcore II Drag Chain | https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3582159 | | Railcore II Aluminum Y Carriage Belt Retainer | https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3597877 | | Railcore II Fan Adapters | https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3646685 | | Railcore II Part Cooling Fan Support Bracket | https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3598226 |
